As for Sky's coverage of the 500,apart from limited pre race build up i thought they done a great job,we had plenty of in car footage with excellent picture quality.Some of the questions were a bit stupid but at least it shows non nascar fans are taking a look and you just have to laugh at how bored Ben Collins looks and sounds with it all!!

To be fair to Ben, he was probably Jet Lagged. I think he probably just wanted to go to sleep! :)
Also, it could be nerves, I'm not sure he has done much live TV.
True, how many times did we see the "this is what happans when a broken valve drops into the cylinder head" VT on ESPN.Quote:
Sorry, so unfair. Just like ALL media, subjects are done over and over, to help those that have never seen the subject before. Women's magazines cover the same things over and over, because girls are growing up all the time.
True like i said above i had to explian a few things to my buddy who was watching the 300 with me. So some things do need to be covered for the newbies.Quote:
NASCAR is a primarily US sport, so lots of Brits will need help easing in. You don't, I don't, but others who are tuning in for the first time will, and that's fine by me. I am talking about youngsters who have just managed to get the remote from dad, and stumble upon a race and get interested.
NASN doesnt really show ads with anything. the odd few here and there. i think they mianly run off the subscription money itself. But with lots of people leaving that cant be good for them.Quote:

which means more people are taking an interest which can only be good and hopefully will lead to a return of the v8s to (uk)rockingham's oval.Quote:

Its a shame but true. The shape of the oval (almost a square designed to fit the site) is not conducive to close racing.Quote:

Mind you, 7.30am Sunday. Early start. May have to rely on the recording of that one. :D
